Compounds of formula I are useful as stabilizers to protect polymeric materials against degradation by light. The compounds have particularly good solubility and miscibility in solvent systems and in liquid polymers as well as in prepolymers, which makes them useable in a wide range of polymeric materials.
The concentration of compound of formula I employed in the polymeric material is suitably 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 1% by weight. The compound may be added before, during or after the polymerization step, and may be added in solid form; in solution, preferably as a liquid concentrate containing from 20 to 80% by weight of compound of formula I; or as a solid masterbatch composition containing 20 to 80% by weight of compound of formula I and 80 to 20% by weight of a solid polymeric material which is identical with or compatible with the polymeric material to be stabilized.
Suitable polymeric materials include plastic materials for example polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, ABS, terpolymers of acrylates, styrene and acrylonitrile, styrene/acrylonitrile and styrene/butadiene. Other plastics materials such as polybutylene, polystyrene, chlorinated polyethylene, polycarbonate, polymethylmethacrylate, polyphenylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polyacetals, phenol/formaldehyde resins and epoxy resins may also be used. Preferred plastic materials are polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers and ABS. Natural polymers for example natural rubber may also be stabilized, as may lubricating oils containing polymeric material.
The compounds of formula I may be incorporated by known methods into the polymeric material to be stabilized. Of particular importance is blending of the compounds with thermoplastic polymers in the melt, for example in a melt blender or during the formation of shaped articles, including foils, films, tubes, containers, bottles, fibres and foams by extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding, spinning or wire coating.
The compounds of formula I can also be used for light stabilising polyamide fibres.
It is not essential for the polymeric material to be fully polymerised before mixing with the compounds according to the invention. The compounds may be mixed with monomer, prepolymer or prcondensate, and the polymerisation or condensation reaction carried out subsequently. This will of course be the preferred method of incorporation of the compound into thermosetting polymers which cannot be melt blended.
Compounds of formula I can be used alone or as aqueous dispersions especially in water-borne systems or in combination with other light stabilisers for example U.V. stabilisers. Examples of U.V. stabilisers are hindered amine light stabilisers such as N-unsubstituted or N-substituted (e.g. alkyl or acyl)-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine compounds (in particular the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine compounds). Such a combination may give a synergistic effect.
The compounds of formula I may be used alone or in combination with other stabilizers, for example antioxidants. Examples include sterically hindered phenols, sulphur or phosphorus-containing compounds or mixtures of these. Examples are benzofuran-2-ones; indolin-2-ones and sterically hindered phenols such as beta(4-hydroxy-3,5-ditert.-butylphenyl)-propionyl stearate, methane tetrakis-(methylene-3(3',5'-ditert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-)-propionate, 1,1,3-tris-(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-tert.-butylphenyl)-butane, 1,3,5-tris(4-tert.-butyl-3-hydroxy-2,6-di-methylbenzyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2,5, 6(1H, 3H, 5H)-trione, bis-(4-tert.-butyl-3-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylbenzyl)-dithiolterephthalate, tris(3,5-ditert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanurate, the tri-ester of beta-(4-hydroxy-3,5-ditert.-butyl-phenyl)propi onic acid with 1,3,4-tris-(2-hydroyethyl)-5-triazin-2,4,6,(1H, 3H, 5H)-trione, bis-[3,3-bis-(4'-hydroxy-3-tert.-butylphenyl)-butyricacid]glycol ester, 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris-(3,5-ditert.-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzyl)benzene, 2,2'-methylene-bis-(4-methyl-6-tert.-butyl-phenyl)terephthalate, 4,4-methylene-bis-(2,6-di-tert.-butyl-phenol),4,4'-butylidene-bis-(tert.-b utyl-metacresol), 2,2'-methylene-bis-(4-methyl-6-tert.-butyl)phenol.
Sulphur-containing antioxidative co-stabilizers which may be used include for example distearylthiodipropionate, dilaurylthiodipropionate, methane tetrakis(methylene-3-hexyl-thiopropionate), methane tetrakis(methylene-3-dodecylthiopropionate) and dioctadecyldisulphide. Phosphorus-containing co-stabilizers include for example trinonylphenyl phosphite, 4,9-distearyl-3,5,8,10-tetraoxadiphosphaspiroundecane, tris-(2,4-ditert.-butylphenyl)phosphite and tetrakis(2,3-ditert.-butylphenyl)-4,4'-bisphenylene diphosphonite. Further additives such as aminoaryl compounds and U.V.-absorbers and light stabilizers e.g. 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazoles, 2-hydroxybenzophenones, 1,3-bis-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)benzene, salicylates, cinnamates, benzoates and substituted benzoates, sterically hindered amines and oxalic acid diamides may be used. Other known types of additives, e.g. flame retardants and antistatic agents may also be added.
The compounds of the invention can also be used in photopolymeric substrates containing photoinitiators for the photopolymerisation.
The compounds of formula I are especially suitable for use in organic polymer-containing coatings, particularly automotive finishes.
Automotive finishes are generally solutions or dispersions of organic polymers or polymer precursors in organic solvents. The majority are stoving finishes, which require the application of heat, generally above 80.degree. C., in order to harden the finish in an acceptable time once it has been applied to the primer-coated metal surface. The hardening step may be accelerated by the use of an acid catalyst. The effect of this heating may be to accelerate the chemical reaction between polymer precursors in a thermosetting system, or to bring about fusion of particles of a thermoplastic polymer.
Many automotive finishes are metallic finishes, which contain flakes of metal, usually aluminium, in order to provide optical effects due to reflection. Such finishes are often two-coat finishes, in which a clear top coat finish is applied over a base coat finish containing a single pigment or metal flakes. The compounds of formula I can be in the top coat finish or the ground coat finish, preferably the former. Such two-coat metallic finishes have particular need of U.V.-stabilisers in the top coat, since the polymer in this coat is not protected by light-absorbing pigments, and it is subjected to almost double the normal amount of radiation because of reflection of light from the lower metallic layer.
The compounds of formula I are suitable for use as U.V.-stabilisers in a wide range of liquid finishes, for example those based on combinations of melamine-formaldehyde resins with oil-modified polyester resins, polyacrylate resins with added crosslinkers, or saturated polyesters; or on self-crosslinkers, or saturated polyesters; or on self-crosslinked polyacrylate or polyacrylate resin co-polymerised with styrene.
Further examples are two-component finishes based on an aliphatic or aromatic di-isocyanate and a hydroxy-group-containing polyacrylate, polyester or polyether resin. These polyurethane 2 component finishes are preferably hardened at 60.degree. to 120.degree. C. Thermoplastic polyacrylate resins may also be used, the latter being particularly useful in metallic finishes, as are also polyacrylate resins with added crosslinkers in combination with melamine-formaldehyde resins etherified with butanol and, further, hydroxy-group-containing polyacrylate resins hardened with aliphatic di-isocyanates. Such polyacrylate resins are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,062,753, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The compounds of formula I are particularly useful in acid catalysed stoving finishes particularly in the top coat of two layer metallic finishes.
The compounds of formula I may be added to the finish at any stage in its manufacture, and may be added in solid form or in solution, preferably in the form of a liquid concentrate in a suitable solvent or in the form of a dispersion in water or organic solvent.
In practice, the compounds of formula I are added to a finish as a solution in organic solvent (as a liquid finish) in which the binder material is between 35% (low solid finishes) and 70% by weight (high solid finishes). The binder material of the finish can be in aqueous emulsion or suspension form (as an aqueous finish) in which the binder material part makes up 20 to 30% by weight. However, the compounds of formula I can be added to known powder finishes.
The compounds of formula I are to be added to the liquid or powder finishes before stoving or hardening. Preferably the compounds of formula I are used in liquid finishes since it is easy to add exact dosages. It is particularly preferred to use a concentrate (preferably in a hydrocarbon solvent) containing at least 40% preferably 60 to 80% by weight of the total weight of the concentrate of a compound of formula I to introduce the compound of formula I to finishes for stoving.
The addition of from 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 2% by weight of one or more compounds of formula I gives a clear improvement in the light- and weather-stability of organic pigments in stoving finishes as well as reducing the tendency to hairline cracking and loss of gloss as the result of weathering. This is also found for metallic finishes and excellent long-term stability of the clear top coat of two layer metallic finishes is obtained. In such finishes, the compound of formula I may be added to the metallic undercoat, the clear top coat or both, preferably only to the clear top coat. The metal surface to be finished may be under-coated with primer coatings as is customary in the art of coating metal surfaces.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight and all temperatures are in .degree.C.

To this suspension 21.7 g of chloroacetic acid-iso-octylester are added dropwise over 30 minutes and this mixture is stirred at this temperature until thin layer chromatography shows complete reaction has occurred. Water is then added and the upper organic phase is separated off and is then washed twice with water. The organic phase is then concentrated and the product is crystallized out of hexane. The product that results is a white powder having a melting point of 64.degree. to 66.degree..

At this temperature 6.1 g of chloroacetic acid ethyl ester are added and the mixture is stirred overnight. The suspension is filtered and the acetone solution is concentrated. The residue is crystallized out of toluene. The product is a white powder having a melting point of 115.degree.-118.degree..
